31 AMA 38 traffic stop. Affirmative. 551. I'm not going to have you guys short towards an MSR TV, 23 Escalon Street. The complaint states there, a friend lives at that location. He's a Vietnam vet. He's having, I guess, a severe mental crisis. He's diagnosed PTSD and making threats to hurt himself, and also shot a BB gun at the complainant's wife.

Should be looking for Jim, Angel, male white, 70, taller with a red shirt on, he's possibly intoxicated, too. I'm trying to see if the complainant knows where the gun is at now. I guess he left the location. He might be down the street or something for safety, but 23S for once. 51 copy. 1247. 1247.
